[edit] Plot summary

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details about some or all of the Buffyverse productions (Buffy, Angel, Fray, etc.) follow.

A series of perfect clones of members at Angel Investigations are lurking in the city. They plan to kill the originals. Team Angel must find out where the replicas are coming from and why, before the murder spree hits the whole city. The gang must face dark versions of themselves.

[edit] Trivia

  • Tagline:'What is the true reflection of a champion?' (The promotional image of the 'Book cover' above has the wrong tagline).
  • Characters include: Angel, Cordelia, Wesley, Gunn, Fred, Lorne and Connor.

[edit] Continuity

  • Supposed to be set in Angel Season 4.

[edit] Canonical issues

Main article: Buffyverse canon
Buffy/Angel books such as this one are not usually considered by fans as canonical. Some fans consider them stories from the imaginations of authors and artists, while other fans consider them as taking place in an alternative fictional reality. However unlike fan fiction, overviews summarising their story, written early in the writing process, were 'approved' by both Fox and Joss Whedon (or his office), and the books were therefore later published as officially Buffy/Angel merchandise.
